Question Hawk or Mugen Pads?

..Well I plan to upgrade the Si's spongey break system with some steel braided lines and some Hawk or Mugen pads...any suggestions? The ony track time i see is some night time drag races at the track, and thats about it. I may consider an autocross run or two in the near future. I do tons of daily driving (I rack close to 130 miles a week)...also a suggestion on steel braided lines as well.

130 miles a week is a ton of daily driving?

Mugen pads are like 300+, get the Hawks for sure best bang for the buck. I'd only go with Mugen if you got everything else Mug'd out!

I didn't realize they cost that much. (mugen pads)
Go with Hawk I had them on my CRX they were ok but I know the Mugen pads are better.
